[Wild-Oscar]

It turned $6.5 Million Into $45 Million. Nice call.

Smart man. I remember folks saying he was a fool. Look who’s laughing now.

Brilliant move.

Odell Beckham was roasted also. “Who said taking my Rams salary in Bitcoin was dumb again?” he posted on X on Wednesday.

• Odell Bekcham Jr. took his $750,000 salary in Bitcoin in November 2021.
• The NFL star was criticized for making a mistake throughout crypto’s winter.
• Beckham Jr. is now taking a victory lap on social media after Bitcoin hit all-time highs.

Ha-ha, props to these guys. I know there was a longer list of guys who did take the BTC as pay.

Easy to criticize a guy when BTC is in a bear market. They look good now. Check back in four months!

Seems like Mac Jones bought all his O-linemen a Coin back when it was at $32k... Of course all these numbers are also predicated on holding the line. But at the same time, not like any of these fellas was hurting for the dough. Don't think any of them threw multi-million dollar bday parties like Ardian Peterson.

Assuming none of them sold/gambled with it...

But then you have guys like Tom Brady on the other side that lost big. It's a risk like anything.

Easy to gamble like that when you have plenty of cash to fall back on regardless of the outcome

Exactly.

It's impossible to 'lose big' with bitcoin. The only way to lose it to sell. Rather, to try to outsmart yourself and well 'before it falls (further)'.

Just do what these guys did, and HODL. What can be simpler?

NYC Mayor Adams gets paid in BTC as well.

Of course. I would bet that shit has been gone for a while. A cute story but the burn rate on cash for NFL players is incredible.

NBA players are worse. No self-control, no direction. Just blow it all.

No shit. No way these guys let it ride.
